YET THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS USES THE D.A.V. CHECK AS INCOME, SUCH AS IN THE COURTS, FOR DIVORCE CASES ESPECIALLY. IN SOC/SEC INFO, AND ANY OTHER GOV. AGENCY THAT REQUEST THE D.A.V. CHECK BE KNOWN AND USED AS INCOME. I WAS TOLD BY A NEW YORK 100% DISABLED VETERAN THAT NEW YORK DOES NOT ASK OR USE THERE D.A.V. CHECK FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING INCOME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE POLICY OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND IF TRUE, THEN HAVE THE MASS. LEGISLATURE CHANGE SUCH POLICY TO EXCLUDE THE D.A.V. CHECK AS A COMPENSATION CHECK AND NOT A INCOME CHECK, AND THAT NO MASS. STATE AGENCY CAN ASK OR USE THE D.A.V. CHECK AS INCOME. IT WAS ALSO RULED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE IN 1998 OR AROUND THAT TIME, AS A COMPENSATION CHECK NOT A INCOME CHECK.

S. A. SO WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CONTROVERSE OVER THE HEALTH AND WEALTH FARE OF THE AMERICAN VETERAN, DISABLED OR NOT. THE COMMISSION THE PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES REQUESTED YEARS AGO, SHOULD BE PUT INTO EFFECT AS SOON AS POSSIBILE. IF MONEY IS NO ISSUE WHEN FIGHTING FOR YOUR COUNTRY, THEN WHY SHOULD IT BE AN ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO TAKEN CARE OF OUR VETERANS, DISABLED OR NOT.
